Over The Top Blackadder Goes Forth

As mentioned in my 30 Days of Funny challenge Rowan Atkinson a.k.a. Mr Bean is one of my favourite Comedians.  In a somewhat more articulate role he took up the character of Edmund Blackadder whose title changes across the four series.  Blackadder is yet another "staple" in British Television history, regarded as one of the golden titles in British Sitcom - sitcom for those who don't know is a term that abridges the words situational and comedy to make sit-com - sitcom.

There have been many sitcoms that we have fallen in love with, a fair few will feature in these posts as it is so often sad to see the series end and the characters depart our lives.  Arguably some television series have run for so long in the UK that many people will have watched them from before their children were born or from before and after key parts in their lives, the shows always remaining constant.

As it is so often sad to see a series end, they often end with tragedy and in the case of the final series of Blackadder, 'Blackadder goes forth' the final scene depicts the deaths of the cast as a whole, the scene portrays the emotion and evokes a reaction from the audience.
